That's not true. setup.hint is a preprocessor directive frile for upset that generates version numbers and the appropriate layout for setup.ini. They are _not_ meant to be includable in setup.ini per se. The setup.ini spec is not documented outside inilex.l unfortunately. I will document these two things as being separate when I next reboot. > > Sometimes (when upset's automatic version parser fails) > > Who is `upset'?

Why not just have a sane > archive, or fix setup.ini by hand if you don't like it? upset is the setup.hint->setup.ini + package scanner that runs automatically on sources.redhat. ...skip comments predicated on invalid assumption...
